JTFP...just like the government has already admitted that VAT will impact the poor...so they are earmarking a chunk of the money that was meant to be going to pay down our debt, to go towards social services to assist those negatively impacted by VAT...and around and around we go!! Getting dizzy yet?
2 things can happen...Moss shuts up and falls in line with the misguided PLP doctrine (I hope he doesn't)...or you will find Moss 'resigning'...essentially fired. Everything our dear misguided elder of politics here is saying is just making my skin crawl.
They don't want Freedom of Information and they definitely don't want freedom of speech, you either tow the party line or move on...dissenting voices are not welcome. How DARE you contradict the Motley crew who are driving this train wreck of a disaster of country leadership. Get back in line and shut yer mouth!!
I know the current government was not left with a well maintained ship, but instead of coming in and tightening up the reigns and cutting government overhead and expenditures, they have just gone balls to the wall and business as usual, big business and banks are pulling out and downsizing or outsourcing and it's the person on that borderline of make it or break it who's going to be broke(n). As all the other revenue streams start to dry up, government keeps loading up the taxes and fees for the remaining businesses, who in turn just keep on increasing the price to cover their cost. private businesses are not charities that are just going to absorb new fees and maintain the current pricing structure...as the fees increase, the prices increase, simple as that. If we look at something as simple as food, you increase the fees dramatically across the board...your main wholesalers react and increase wholesale prices to offset the 'new first/landed cost'...they sell that on to all these other stores, Super Value, Solomon's, Budget, John Chea, all your little convenience stores and gas stations...they take the newer higher price and add in there what is generally considered to be a 30-35% markup in the retail stores on the price they paid...it's one giant snowball and the guy walking that fine line is gonna get crushed. But, according to other articles, the government has no intention of reducing it's spending and overhead, so they have to increase the fees and taxes to cover the massive debt load...they are just going to carry on business as usual...all hands in the cookie jar and screw the little man out there who can't even afford a loaf of bread. Point blank, they need to cut spending, the constant increase in taxes and fees just drive people further and further into that poverty line.
Now tack on 7-10% instant inflation, between VAT and the minimum wage increase that will drive up business expenses even more and that poverty line just jumped!!
At this point in the game,whether you are for or against the Privy Council...traitors or not...I will take ANY opportunities to bring a halt to dredging. With that being said...I think there is so much damage done at this point, it's pretty much irreversible, and I think that is what they were aiming to do...make such a bloody mess of it as quickly as possible, so when the courts finally figure it out, it's not going to make a difference if they stop or not. Very sad.
